Your Baby’s Development and Milestones at 38 Weeks
Congratulations! Your little one is officially 38 weeks old, and what a journey it’s been. This week, your baby is starting to anticipate what comes next—like when she’s in her high chair, she’s probably hoping for some delicious bananas. If broccoli makes an appearance instead, expect a funny face of pure disapproval (and honestly, who can blame her? Broccoli isn’t for everyone). Make sure to capture her first reaction to something sour; those pictures will be priceless during her teenage years!
Development and Growth Milestones at 38 Weeks
Ah, the joys of diaper duty! As your baby delves into solid foods, diaper changes can become quite the adventure. Each time you open that diaper, it’s like unwrapping a gift from someone who might not have your best interests at heart. Fun fact: if you notice her poop resembling sand, it could be due to oats that haven’t fully digested. Or, she might have taken a liking to sand itself, which, just to clarify, is not a recommended snack. Seriously, steer clear of the sand!
Physical, Social, and Cognitive Milestones
At this stage, your baby is likely embracing her silly side. If she has an older sibling, you can bet she’s mimicking everything they do, from blowing kisses to waving goodbye—and maybe even some less-than-desirable habits. Her vision has developed significantly too; she can recognize familiar faces and objects from a distance. Plus, the color of her eyes is probably settling in, so you can assure anyone worried about it that there’s no need for concern.

In summary, your 38-week-old baby is blossoming in both her physical and social skills. She’s learning to anticipate her meals, exploring new foods (and their not-so-great outcomes), and getting better at recognizing the world around her.
